I go to McDonalds sometimes and grab some fries and a drink and a good book. I can read pages and pages without issue there but at home I zonk out by the 3rd page. If your not big on Cheetoes try cookies, just make sure that whatever you choose requires some form of a cleaning ritual and isn't sticky. The goal is to keep you alert, not complicate your reading session.
